‘Other Mommy,’ ‘Social Reckoning’ Struggle as Box Office Slows Down

The horror film Other Mommy, produced by Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Universal, claimed the top box office spot with $12.6 million on opening day. Despite this, it received the worst CinemaScore grade in two years. Meanwhile, Sony's The Social Reckoning debuted to $2.15 million on Friday, opening below $5 million. These results emerge as the horror genre continues its 2026 box office reign, maintaining momentum as Halloween approaches despite a general slowdown in overall cinema attendance.
